system.ext2 is a file containing an ext2 filesystem that XDAndroid mounts at /system.  In Android, the /system directory generally contains files specific to a particular Android release (Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread):
- the Dalvik virtual machine
- APK package files for standard apps (Phone.apk,Contacts.apk,Calendar.apk,Gmail.apk, etc.)
system.ext2 is generally stored in the /andboot/ directory of the SD card.
system.ext2 does not contain:
- the Linux kernel (zImage) and associated kernel modules (modules-*.tar.gz) — those are maintained and released separately ashtc-msm-linux-date_time-package.tar.bz2
- essential UNIX utilities such as lsandmount— those are provided by rootfs.img
